(Results and Discussion) can go together. After
point 5 It is accepted a Conclusion section.

Introduction:

research was done, and specify the hypothesis
that is being tested.

Materials and Methods : All procedures
should be clearly explained, or referred to by
means of the original reference. Any

results, and set them in the context of what is
already known in the appropriate field. Results
already described in the Results section should
not be repeated here. Any necessary extensive
